Elmgarden has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Our Bear comes from a country Merry go Round or Carousel, he is made made in solid wood, he has glass painted eyes and a broad saddle he probably sat 2 children on his back at once, there is mask carving on the bears back just behind the saddle
This large and handsome piece would be excellent as a stand alone or for any one with the talent it could be converted into a rocking bear for a lucky child
The Bear is in good condition for his age and has lots of life left in him. He is 29” high to his shoulder, 53” long tail to nose and 15” across
we have another similar to this one
